Divergent raises $290M to expand production of specialized military parts

Divergent Technologies, an advanced manufacturing company specializing in military components, has raised $290 million in a funding round that values the company at $2.3 billion. The capital infusion, which includes $40 million in debt, will be used to expand Divergent’s manufacturing facilities in Los Angeles and to initiate construction of a new factory in Oklahoma next year. The company’s specialized 3D printers produce up to 600 parts, with metal missile airframes being a core product. Divergent’s clientele includes major defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, RTX, and General Dynamics. This funding round highlights strong investor interest in startups that enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities amid increasing demand for advanced weapons systems, which is putting pressure on traditional supply chains. CEO Lukas Czinger emphasized the importance of missile parts production as a key business focus for Divergent.
